📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
Riverside Shack is an old abandoned dwelling just southwest of Windhelm, east of Gallows Rock and along the White River. In the vanilla game, it serves very little purpose other than to house a levelled animal, usually a sabre tooth cat. This mod aims to make much more use out of the abandoned shack by allowing the player to rebuild the broken down structure and turn it into a cosy home for the player to come back to after his/her adventures.
The mod comes with a short quest providing some backstory to the previous owner and provides a small reward depending on which path you choose to take. Building the home is a simple process and works similar to the Hearthfire system with tutorials provided as you progress through sections of the mod. You'll have the opportunity to customise your home, changing the colours of the bed covers, drapery and even roofing on the shack.
Make yourself at home, customise the shack to your style and relax by the river away from dragons, your spouse and adopted children.
